Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil meeting proposed ISO-L-
EGD Standard (ISO/CD 13738), must be used. Echo brand Premium

approved oil, such as Echo Premium 50:1 Two-stroke Oil, will void

covered for two years, regardless of two-stroke oil used, per the
statement listed in the EPA Phase I/California Emission Defect
Warranty Explanation.)
